Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for August 11, 2017

It looks like Thunder didn’t think his cunning plan completely through. But then, even a Ballard Street dog can have an off day once in awhile.

Oh, I don’t know, looks like thunder is in a good position for some groin goosing…

Thunder, you won’t get far if you keep knocking your walker off his feet! Patience, you beast!

Can anyone tell me what that little character is just above Rudy’s right elbow? A bunny?

And it is not often we get the aerial view of the Ballard man. Indeed, he is related to Spongebob Squarepants!

“Move it buddy! I gotta GO!”

Now, not only is today’s walk ruined, but he can also forget about tomorrow’s and the next day.

Yeah…I don’t think downward was really the direction he wanted it to move.

Thunder is a big dog… who doesn’t know his own strength.

Rudy is a big man…. who doesn’t realise…. well, a lot of things.

Definitely his left hand, Dennis… palm up, thumb sticking up in front.

Sorry Happyᵌ.

On Donder and Blitzen! Now dash away, dash away, dash away all !!!

Bye, Thunder.

Rudy is a ditherer – always has been ! Thunder knows that, on a good day, it take Rudy a good ten minutes just to get out the front door. Hat, comb, hydration bottle, leash, pencil and business cards ( in case he meets someone interesting ), proper dog walking attire all must be checked and double checked, before leaving the house.

These delays do nothing to relieve Thunder’s anxiety to relieve himself.

He merely is trying to hasten his owner’s perambulation preparation by a push to the tush.

Better heed Thunder if you want to avoid a shower.

Head… Butt…

I see what you did there…

Rudy got a dose of Thunder, down under.

Thunder! my kind of dog, you go boy!

Thunder in the city.
